Paragraph tag with Frame below

[Peter Gold]

I'd really L*O*V*E to take credit for this cool idea, but unless I 
wrote it in a trance, I don't think it's mine.

However, I'd like to embellish it with this suggestion:

If you plan to use it, DOCUMENT it thoroughly in a tagged text frame 
(Flow: A, for example) on all master pages in the files that rely on 
it. Text in a tagged text frame doesn't appear in the body pages that 
employ the tagged frame. Because this technique works against the 
usual expected behavior, anyone new who may be trying to troubleshoot 
the files will thank you for the information. If you prefer, you can 
create a brief statement that points to the location of more detailed 
documentation about your customization, perhaps on a reference page 
of the file, or even in the comments column of the Apply Master Pages 
Mapping table itself.
